The Danish sickness

Human Rights | 15.05.2010 12:03 | Migration | World

In the last decade Denmark have had a right-wing extremist government, in the first seven years headed by the present NATO general secretary, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and presently headed by PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen, whom also “chaired” the COP 15 with so devastating little success, his chair ship will enter the history books for poor re-sults etc.

Though the present government made up by the liberal party (Partiet Venstre) and the conservative party, Det Konservative Folkeparti, is politically supported by the beastly, racist and almost quasi fascist party: The Danish Peoples Party, Dansk Folkeparti, headed by the Aryan looking female party leader: Pia Kjaersgaard and a supporting group of other party and MP’s. The party doesn’t after have that many seats in the Dan-ish Parliament, but never the less together with the two government parties they are able to “set the order of the day”, especially with regard to the legislation of emigration, asy-lum and matters a like. They more or less “rule” how the laws is to be set up, and be-cause of that the laws and statues are extremely hard and racist, especially towards peo-ple from Africa, the Middle East, Asia etc.

The present Danish laws in this area are more or less a violation of the most fundamental human rights and the UN rules on the area. Refugees and asylum applicants are further-more kept in special interment camps and treated like the white Apartheid regime in South Africa treated the native population. You could say that Denmark is a Scandina-vian version of the apartheid system from back then.

But it isn’t only immigrants, asylum seekers and peoples a like, also “ordinary Danes”,
handicapped, unemployed, homeless, and others a like, a treated in a humiliating and hard fashion. Due to massive budget cut dawns on the public budgets the treatment of these groups are almost as bad as in relation to the before mentioned groups. They be-long to a growing “proletariat” that the government, and even the Danish labour party, don’t care about, whether they live or die, live on the streets, get sick etc., the govern-ment, and the Danish Peoples party, “the captains of industry”, prefer these groups dead, because in that case they don’t have to pay them the heavily reduced social benefits.

Regrettably Denmark is in 2010 only to be compared with another historic entity of the same nature: The Third Reich, Nazi Germany. The laws and statues of the German Nazi state treated Jews, gipsies, non-Aryans, handicapped in the same dreadful fashion, and history has shown us the result of this. Because of this all countries should be aware of not letting parties like The Danish Peoples Party, DPP, get into political power. You could say that Denmark suffers from the Nazi and racist disease; and its highly conta-gious, because also in other countries ideas and parties like the DPP air similar view-points and “endlösung” to problems in society.

This is a warning to all descent, progressive countries, people, organisations and others and also a suggestion to start a wave of criticism of what is going on in the Danish soci-ety, and especially the Danish government and the DPP. Use al international platforms to
initiate investigations of what is going on in Denmark.

There is a small left-wing, spread on various organisation that tries to do battle against this dreadful situation, the problem is though, that other new laws makes it almost a criminal deed to go on the street and protest. The government and the DPP etc. try to si-lence all opposition and protest, and as almost per usual the Danish police and “Spook services” are al to willing henchmen of the government, the Danish police don’t care about democracy.

But that also has a historic dimension; in the 1930ties and 1940ties the Danish police worked closely together with the RSHA, the Gestapo in Berlin, later when Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany, the Danish police continued there close cooperation with the Gestapo and among other “services rendered” they arrested over 600 members of the Danish communist party, many of these where send to the Stuthof concentration camp.

During the COP15 the Danish arrested over 2.000 people that peacefully agitated to do something against the CO population, and many of these asked if there isn’t any democ-racy in Denmark and the answer is: no, there isn’t.
